EII - INFjs relation with people emotions

[consentingadult]

Hello. I'm new here and I'm not sure if I meet people's criteria for being an EII, but I'm excited to contribute anyway.

I've never considered myself to be a mind reader. Instead, I find myself projecting my own emotions onto other people. People generally don't count on me to deal with their emotional states, lol. But my face can be a problem, haha... not emotionless, just depressed-looking or grumpy.

There is a term for EIIs with grumpy faces that can't read other people's emotional states: SLIs!
